About Us

A Community Built on Compassion

Since 1973, Community Care Car has helped Woodland seniors maintain their independence through the power of neighbors helping neighbors.

Jim Lawson, Founder

It Started With One Simple Question

In the early 1970s, Woodland businessman Jim Lawson noticed a growing challenge facing local seniors and individuals with disabilities: transportation. Doctor appointments. Grocery shopping. Community activities. Many people simply had no reliable way to get where they needed to go.

Rather than waiting for someone else to solve the problem, Jim began building what would eventually become Community Care Car.

A Timeline of Community and Commitment

Meet the Current President of Woodland Community Care Car

It has been my honor and a privilege to serve on the Community Care Car (CCC) Board of Trustees as Vice President and President for the past few years. Having a dedicated board of individuals with strong work ethics, devotion, and compassion to serve our seniors of Woodland is heartwarming. Our 130 volunteers are the formula for success for this organization. Thank you, CCC Team! Thank you to our sponsors, community donors, as well as our personal donors. With their contributions, our organization was able to purchase a new van. Support from our community makes it possible to continue to function independently for decades to come.
